Conservative Kay Parker To Palin: Bow Out

This is not picking on the dumb kid, this is objective. Sarah Palin is not in the same ballpark, city or even state of what a candidate needs to be. Conservative columnist Kathleen Parker has my back:

"Palin's recent interviews with Charles Gibson, Sean Hannity, and now Katie Couric have all revealed an attractive, earnest, confident candidate. Who Is Clearly Out Of Her League.

No one hates saying that more than I do. Like so many women, I've been pulling for Palin, wishing her the best, hoping she will perform brilliantly. I've also noticed that I watch her interviews with the held breath of an anxious parent, my finger poised over the mute button in case it gets too painful. Unfortunately, it often does. My cringe reflex is exhausted.

Palin filibusters. She repeats words, filling space with deadwood. Cut the verbiage and there's not much content there."

She offers a bit of strategery to drop out:

"Only Palin can save McCain, her party, and the country she loves. She can bow out for personal reasons, perhaps because she wants to spend more time with her newborn. No one would criticize a mother who puts her family first."

Take heed, Sarah. These are sensible demands.

Sarah Palin: OMG. Dumb Thy Name Is Sarah

Follow the transcript below and feel the dumbest person actually sound dumber than you could ever believe. She simply rambles. They say Evangelicals speak in tongues, maybe this is it. Sarah Palin should be in the short bus back to Alaska.



Transcript:
"That's why I say I, like every American I'm speaking with, we're ill about this position that we have been put in. Where it is the taxpayers looking to bail out. But ultimately, what the bailout does is help those who are concerned about the health care reform that is needed to help shore up our economy. Um, helping, oh, it's got to be about job creation, too. Shoring up our economy, and getting it back on the right track. So health care reform and reducing taxes and reining in spending has got to accompany tax reductions, and tax relief for Americans, and trade -- we have got to see trade as opportunity, not as, uh, competitive, um, scary thing, but one in five jobs created in the trade sector today. We've got to look at that as more opportunity. All of those things under the umbrella of job creation."

Sarah Palin: Mental Midget

Feel how small Sarah Palin's brain is during this interview with Katie Couric as she tries to invent a Foreign Policy-By-Proximity magic story. Incoherent? Like a bratty kid in 5th grade, circumloquacious, with a slight condescending tone. [Note: Matthew Yglesias notes, "Moscow is closer to New York than it is to Anchorage. And yet nobody would say that NY Gov. David Paterson has extensive foreign policy experience thanks to his proximity to Russia."]

It used to be valedictorians would say "I'd like to be President", now the vapid D-student with good hair gets a shot. Old skool Republicans must be so proud of Country First McCain's choice. From Dr. Evil Cheney to this? 30 calculated years of neocons selling their souls all for this shit sandwich.

Sarah Palin Loves Big Oil

Robery Kennedy Jr has an op-ed in the LA Times about walking disaster Sarah Palin's love of big oil and how it has shaped her:

"Palin's enthusiastic embrace of Big Oil's agenda (if not always Big Oil itself) has been the platform of her hasty rise in Alaskan politics. In that sense she is as much a product of the oil industry as the current president and his vice president. Palin, whose husband is a production operator for BP on Alaska's North Slope, has sued the federal government over its listing of the polar bear as an endangered species threatened by global warming, and she has fought to open the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge and Alaska's coast to oil drilling.

I guess the only difference between Sarah Palin and Dick Cheney is ... lipstick."
